Directory size is not worth our effort

This is a completely useless, unnecessary in practical application, but funny little post about directories in *nix systems. It's Friday. During interviews, boring questions often arise about inodes, everything-is-files, which few people can answer sanely. But if you dig a little deeper, you can find interesting things.
